UGA audit uncovers suspicious activity

As of Thursday, police had just started to investigate and didn't even know for sure that money is missing, much less how much or who may have taken it, said UGA police Chief Jimmy Williamson.

A university accountant doing a routine audit of accounts at the institute noticed some transactions that looked wrong, Williamson said. The red flag may mean funds were stolen - or only that someone was not following the proper bookkeeping procedures, he said.
